It's all things I already know, of course, but a nice reminder of how I'm not pushing myself enough outside of class. So maybe I'll try doing this a little more. (and a few other things, I've got a medium-sized to-do list of unfinished digital projects. too bad things like BSU/VT tickets get in the way!)
The article is definitely worth a read for those who have not seen it.

What do you get when a Knox and an a Abbate start a blog..............
Hey Pete,
Why don't you write something for our blog? It's your turn.
I thought it was your turn? OK. Let's both write something.
Good plan. Let's do it. To be honest, I've been feeling guilty about our rigid belief in supply side economics. While in a perfect world we might be able to trust the invisible hand of the market, I just don't think it's practical. If we take a more reality based approach to our thinking, we'd come to realize that often a strong role for the federal government is necessary. Fairness and equality are not taken into account by a completely open market.
Well said, Josh. It's like going to a casino. I enjoy casinos and being rewarded for taking risks. But if there's regulators watching the casino, how can I be sure the games aren't fixed. The same thing applies to the economy. We have to have strong federal oversight to make sure the game is not "fixed".
Seriously Pete, great stuff!! Once you really work this stuff out, it really is common sense.
Health Care Reform, the stimulus, TARP --- it's saving our country from collapse. The only thing we're missing is raising the minimum wage. I hope the next Congress and President Obama work on that very soon.
True, but the President did have his hands full the last 2 years. He did manage to get a pay czar in place to limit ceo compensation. That's washington's role. Determining ceo compensation. Good first step in making sure "the game" is not rigged.
Ok, dude. Enough with the "game" analogy. You're wearing it out -- just like your beard.
Don't be a dick (aka Capitalist).
